"People for some reason cannot understand that you can still be a friend even when they are not. That you can can have a watchful eye, humble spirit, and quiet strength.For some of the terrible things that people do, they should be glad that there are those of us out there that will not stab them in the eye everytime they wrong us...DO NOT let the idiots of the world change you because they take your strength for weakness.. The time will come when they understand, sometimes too late, that you are one of the best people that could ever happen to them."

Every 14 seconds AIDS makes another child an orphan.The United States made a promise to rescue these children by leading the fight to end the AIDS epidemic - and now we must live up to our promises.Click here and ask your Representative to restore life-saving foreign assistance fundingDuring the last decade, the proportion of children who are orphaned as a result of AIDS rose from 3.5% to 32% and will continue to increase exponentially as the disease spreads unchecked. As a result, the disease is making orphans of a whole generation of children -- jeopardizing their health, their well-being, and sometimes their very survival.Several life-saving foreign assistance programs that will help these suffering children are being cut by Congress in this year's budget. One of the most important -- the Child Survival and Health Programs Fund -- will lose $136 million. And despite strong evidence that providing basic education in developing countries is a key component to alleviating poverty and disease, the budget cuts over $100 million from basic education initiatives.There is an urgent need to protect these children - make Congress restore life-saving foreign assistance fundingNeo-Soul Lounge is back!!!South Flavas Entertainment presents

In countries across Africa, the Middle East and Asia, girls as young as 4 years old are forced to submit to this painful, unnecessary, and unsafe practice. Take action.Infibulation, the most severe form of FGC, involves the removal of all or part of the external genitalia, leaving only a small opening for urine and menstruation. The cutting usually takes place between the ages of 4 and 12 and can cause serious complications including severe bleeding, infection, long-term difficulties with intercourse and childbirth, and even death.Psychologically, cutting can cause tension between couples due to painful or difficult sexual relations. And socially, cutting makes it harder for girls to go to school or earn income by making them more likely to marry early.We need the help of people like you. Speak out against this unnecessary and unsafe practice.By signing this petition today, you'll be raising awareness and taking a stand to stop the painful practice of female genital cutting. Your name will be added to a list that will demonstrate to key decision makers just how strong the opposition against FGC is.We must do all we can to save these girls from a lifetime of pain and suffering. Start by taking a stand against FGC. Sign today.Thank you for making a difference today!
